way back in august i said i would post more about the periodicals and nonfiction i have been reading. here are some things i have been reading this year:
The Dip - Godin --- a book about when to push through the hard part and get to a better place, and when to identify it as a dead end and bail, and especially about the importance of knowing the difference.
Complete Idiot's Guide To Weight Training - multiple authors --- Been doing resistance training twice a week.
Own A Racehorse Without Spending a Fortune - Metzel --- Am somewhat interested in the horse business. turns out there are three businesses - breeding, pinhooking, and actual racing, which may or may not include claiming. pinhooking is buying a young horse and selling it as soon as it has won a race or two.
(Sound) Mag - I am a columnist for this regional music mag now...
Concert Tour Production Management - Vasey --- just started this one...
This Business of Concert Promotion and Touring - multiple authors - again, just started this one...

Tour Smart and Break the Band - Atkins --- Some good stuff in this book, and some total crap.
Narcotics Anonymous Step Working Guides --- I am in a weekly "step study" group studying this book...
The Lawn & Garden Owner's Manual - Hill and Hill --- I have never had a lawn and garden that I cared about before now, so I have a lot to learn...
Total Heart Rate Training - Friel --- trying to make my running more efficient and get greater gains from my training
You Can Do It! Make Money With Horses - Blazer
Become a Winner Claiming Thoroughbred Race Horses - Specogna
Investing In Thoroughbreds Strategies for Success - Kirkpatrick
Artist Management for the Music Business - Allen --- since this is my new fulltime job, of course I am interested in reading everything that is out there on this subject...
Performing Songwriter --- cheesy looking magazine that actually has great interviews with songwriters about their actual creative process, and a lot of other crap too
American Songwriter - slightly less cheesy but similar to PS above...
Portland Spaces --- magazine
Realms of Fantasy - magazine, kind pulpy even though it isn't on pulp
Tape Op mag

Paste mag

Sing Out! --- awesome mag in the deep folkie tradition

Complete Idiot's Guide to Core Conditioning, Illustrated - Hagerman --- core conditioning is the most important part of my training regimen, because due to my bad back, i have neglected my "core" for many years
This Business Of Artist Management - Frascogna and Hetherington --- years ago when i started in the record business, "This Business Of Music" was the basic text that guided me through the musiz biz's esoteric laws and customs, so this seems like a good resource now that I am a music manager, no longer a record label dude...

The Rainbow Covenant, Torah and the Seven Universal Laws - Dallen --- more about the Noahide Code
